Not easily. You could use svgalib to set a linear memory mode in one
process, and then mmap tthe physical memory from /dev/mem (or
/dev/svga) in the other process. With threads it is easier, but svgalib
has no threads support, so it is your responsibility to make sure the
two threads do not conflict.
